Illinois 80, Oregon 54 Postgame

Good game all around. Now, keep building that ceiling higher every game. This team is FF good when healthy and confident. Listen to your coach!!
It is extremely hard to believe how awful they are.
Which should surprise no one these days. (He also outscored Bos, too...)
And gets to end senior night on a heater with the ball in his hands as the clock strikes zero on a W.

Let's get AJ on the post-game interview with Brad.....
I've given Petro a decent amount of flak this year, but that was a great team play by him setting up AJ like that. Plays like that are what earn you minutes and build relationships with your teammates. Nice to see him understand the role and play it even if it was only for 2 minutes.

Andrej, what a game. I loved his aggressiveness.
I know Wei Lin was out, but how did this Oregon team beat Wisconsin??

That was gorgeous, I would eat my
if I tried that at game speed.Oregon bought undeniable shame to the game of basketball tonight. We still had to have this one though, and we took care of business against a bottom of the barrel opponent.
I mean, they beat Wisconsin and almost won at Mackey. Sometimes teams aren't as bad as you make them look (they were terrible on their end as well).

Unlikely, but a Ben Humrichous-esque redemption arc for Petrovic would be something
I'm just glad the margin ended up over 25 so that one guy doesn't have to be confused about whether we won or lost tonight.
I’d probably take him as our starting 5 most days of the week. Outside of that, Oregon is straight dog water.
I know we're all happy about a blowout win, but are we seriously forgetting how absolutely TERRIBLE this team looked in the first 5 minutes of the game? It was an absolutely dismal effort across the board to start the game.
That's not going to work in mid-to-late March...

I think he’s really starting to gel with the guys. From all accounts, he never stops working and wants to win. I hope he does come back next year but I would understand if he did not.
